Trying to Get Pregnant
It's Newbie Play Date time-C'mon in!
This discussion has been closed.
Re: It's Newbie Play Date time-C'mon in!
If it's not the date FF picked, it's one day earlier. Either way, you're not totally out of the game. I think SNM holds the record for worst timing on her BFP cycle--I think they had sex like 5 days before O and still got pregnant!
My timing's not so great this cycle, either. I'm with ya, sister, but trying to stay positive.
A previous poster (newbie intro post) said her DH is taking clomid for his sperm count. Max - Clomid is for women as well!
Never used it--but I did learn that I need to drink more water to increase my CM in general.
And FYI--you know if you're drinking green tea, you need to wait a few hours after you take your PNV because green tea inhibits folic acid absorbtion. Or just take your PNV at night.
I don't know... but I swear, Lemon. Your chart and my chart need to GET THEIR SHIIT TOGETHER!!
I just came off BC in Oct. and this is my 3rd cycle TTC. 1st cycle was 37 days, 2nd cycle was 49. So, yeah ... I was a little skeptical that I'd O on CD16 on this cycle.
So DH and I should keep going at it? Boo.
Holy shiit!! That really gives me hope for this cycle
I've been afraid our timing was horrible!
First, I have to say OUCH as I cross my own legs. Second, if you are doing it that much and that is very different from your normal pattern, it is very likely that you are bleeding from the sex. However, if you have any other issues that are out of the norm, you may want to back off the sex and see a doctor. For ex: itching, burning, unusual discharge.
Bah, that doesn't sound like fun... Do you think you could have hurt yourself or torn something? Are you recently off of BCP--like could it be spotting and not related to having sex so much?
Either way, that sounds awful. Give your vag a rest, lady!!
YAY! That is exciting!
Definitely keep having sex. It would suck to kick yourself in the rear later for not doing it.
I'd snag some internet cheapies... Or maybe someone here is selling their CBEFM? I wouldn't pay full price, though.
::claps hands::
Yeah. Thanks. It's good to know my body is at least working even if my chances are non-existant.
I appreciate your input!
Haha! Thanks for the input! No, no other issues so I haven't been too concerned about it, thinking its most likely just from sex too often! But I think we're just going to hold off for a bit and try again next cycle... but with a new method!
You are going to hate my answer... Maybe but we'll have to wait and see. This one is too close to call. Is this your first cycle charting?
OH WAIT! My roll of tape says yes, though!
Nevermind. I'm an idiot who needs to learn to scroll.
This coverline is way below your previous ones and you've had a pattern like this before... I'm tempted to say that you didn't O yet. Keep up ye olde Hump 'N Hope!
LMAO!!! Yeah, I think I just need a break. I've been off BC since 2008 so I don't think that's an issue, but my guess is maybe dryness from too much sex, not enough lube...
Thanks so much for the input!
Every other day should be sufficient too if you still wanted to try that. Everyday must be too much right off the start. Good luck!
Thanks MSC! Originally FF had put the day before as my O date, but then when I put in my temp the next day it chaged it to 1 day later. I was like AHHH now my timing does suck.
I guess you are right though..it's not over until it's over.
Thanks for your input. Much appreciated!
When in doubt, hump!
No, I've been charting since September. Are the other charts not showing up?? I don't hate your answer, I can handle it.
Thanks! I think we will go to every other day next month. This is obviously not working for me!
If you're lubing the hole, you might want to get a sperm-friendly lube like preconceive or pre... pre... something else. There are a few, I just can't remember the brand names.
Grrrr, I thought something was wrong with mine because I swear that the packaging said that it saves temps.
I don't see an option for "last reply". Please hold my hand and guide me to the right spot!
::hangs head in shame::
It actually says "last post date"
Okay, when you're on the main TTGP page, scroll all of the way to the bottom. You'll see a green box with some drop downs about how to view your posts and how recent the posts are, etc. Click the "Most Recent Post" drop down and change it to "Most recent reply" and then click Apply.
Try holding the button down with you turn it on. That's how I have to view my last temp. I have a CVS though, not a Target.
If you got your 3 hours and temped at your normal time, use the 7:00 one. If you were supposed to temp earlier than that, use the original one.
And I wasn't... so that could be the problem!
::claps hand gleefully:: Yay!! That looks MUCH better
You are right--the options are original post date and last post date. You want last post date.
It actually says "last post date"
It usually means you are about to or are releasing an egg. Some women have the pain a day or two before and some have it the day of.
I'll give it a whirl! Thanks for the advice.
::hangs head in shame over not being able to figure out a thermometer::
It's tough--I don't know if there is a real answer to this question but most likely it means you're about to release the egg.
Not everyone gets O pain. Half of the time I think they're random pains that we wouldn't otherwise notice, but since we're TTC, we're more alert to signs.
Also, some of them only save it so you can look at it once. For example, I take my temp, go back to sleep, and look at the temp when I get up. But once I look at that last temp, it is gone within seconds and I can't get it back. I have the Walgreens one though.
That's exactly what happens with mine.
